Roman WarderRecently, I stumbled upon a statement from Viktor Orbán, the Prime Minister of Hungary, in which he expressed his discontent with the leadership of the European Union. According to Orbán, it is high time to stir things up and address what he views as ″ineffective″ leadership within the EU. He specifically highlighted his concerns regarding the EU’s policies on migration and Ukraine.
Orbán made these remarks during a gathering of conservative politicians in Brussels. He emphasized the necessity for a change in leadership if the EU fails to deliver the desired outcomes. In fact, he intends to guide the EU towards his own agenda following the upcoming European elections, where right-wing parties are anticipated to garner substantial support.
Interestingly, Orbán’s comments were made during the National Conservatism Conference, which faced opposition from local authorities due to safety apprehensions. This opposition drew parallels between the police intervention and the oppressive regime in communist Hungary, raising concerns about the state of freedom in Europe.
It will be captivating to observe how Orbán’s stance and the impending European elections shape the future of the European Union.
On the edge of the imminent dominance of Europe.
Orbán, always one to express his opposition to the EU despite being a member, strongly criticized the bloc’s migration policy in his discussion with conference chairman Yoram Hazony. He conveyed his admiration for living in a ″Christian society″ and questioned why they should relinquish it.
Orbán is widely regarded as Russian President Vladimir Putin’s closest ally within the EU. He emphasized that he has no intention of severing Budapest’s longstanding ″economic relations″ with Moscow, despite Russia’s ongoing conflict with Ukraine.
While acknowledging Ukraine’s right to defend itself, Orbán made it evident that he does not perceive it as Hungary’s war. He criticized Europe’s approach, stating that it fails to address the repercussions of supporting a country involved in an unwinnable conflict.
According to Orbán, Ukraine has become a mere ″protectorate″ of the West, relying on financial and military aid from the EU and the U.S. He predicted that without this support, Ukraine would no longer exist as an autonomous state.
In line with Putin’s justification for invading Ukraine, Orbán argued that the conflict revolves around Kyiv’s potential NATO membership. He asserted that Putin would never allow a direct border between Russia and NATO countries, emphasizing the necessity of a buffer zone.
The conference, attended by prominent conservatives such as Nigel Farage from the UK and former
I went to a gathering on Tuesday at the Claridge, which is situated close to the European Quarter. The gathering was opened by Mateusz Morawiecki, the Prime Minister of Poland. Nevertheless, the situation became disorderly when the municipal authorities, at the mayor’s request, intervened to halt the event.
Despite the disturbance, the planners managed to carry on with the meeting on Tuesday, albeit with law enforcement officers positioned at the entrance to regulate entry for new participants.
Fortunately, a Belgian court subsequently deemed the mayor’s directive null and void, enabling the conference to proceed unhindered on Wednesday.
